Amendment No. 1 to Investment Advisory Agreement

THIS AMENDMENT is made as of May 1, 2024 between Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Fund”), and UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC (“UBS AM”), a Delaware limited liability company registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“Advisers Act”).

WHEREAS, CSAM merged into UBS AM effective as of May 1, 2024, with UBS AM surviving and succeeding as investment adviser to the Fund; and

WHEREAS, the Fund’s Board of Trustees has approved an amendment to the Agreement to reflect UBS AM as the investment adviser to the Fund under the Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

All references to Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC are hereby revised to UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC.
